The most complete and current edition of Dylan Thomas' collected poetry in a beautiful gift edition celebrating the centenary of his birth

The reputation of Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) as one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century has not waned in the fifty years since his death. A Welshman with a passion for the English language, Thomas’s singular poetic voice has been admired and imitated, but never matched.

This exciting, newly edited annotated edition offers a more complete and representative collection of Dylan Thomas’s poetic works than any previous edition. Edited by leading Dylan Thomas scholar John Goodby from the University of Swansea, The Poems of Dylan Thomas contains all the poems that appeared in Collected Poems 1934-1952, edited by Dylan Thomas himself, as well as poems from the 1930-1934 notebooks and poems from letters, amatory verses, occasional poems, the verse film script for “Our Country,” and poems that appear in his “radio play for voices,” Under Milk Wood. Showing the broad range of Dylan Thomas’s oeuvre as never before, this new edition places Thomas in the twenty-first century, with an up-to-date introduction by Goodby whose notes and annotations take a pluralistic approach.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dylan Thomas blistered and jolted readers thanks to an infatuation with words that became voracious love. It is impossible to overstate the invigorating influence of his work and the tragedy of his early death. John Goodby, a Thomas scholar at the University of Swansea, provides a nimble introduction to the poet and the man."
― Barbara Berman, The Rumpus

"A beautiful addition to any library. One of the 20th century’s greatest poets."
― Brazos Bookstore

"Thomas meant much to me and my generation, he is still singing in his chains like the sea―a force driving the flowers."
― Seamus Heaney

"As I wrote fifty years ago, there is no one like Dylan Thomas in poetry today."
― Lawrence Ferlinghetti

About the Author

Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea in 1914, is perhaps Wales’ best-known writer, widely considered to be one of the major poets of the 20th century: many of his greatest poems, such as “Fern Hill” and ”’Do not go gentle into that good night”’ are beloved and widely studied. As well as poetry, Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories and scripts for film and radio–none more popular than his radio play Under Milk Wood. He led a fascinating and tempestuous life, which ended all too soon in 1953 when he collapsed and died in New York City shortly after his 39th birthday. 



John Goodby, scholar, poet, and translator, is Senior Lecturer at the University of Swansea and author of The Poetry of Dylan Thomas: Under the Spelling Wall, Illenium, and A True Prize.

Dylan Thomas was probably underrated during his brief lifetime and career, but this handsome collection of his poetry makes it unlikely that he will continue to be underrated. If you like poetry--the real stuff, with bite and wit and poetic originality--make this volume part of your permanent book collection: simply outstanding.

Bought this for my girlfriend who is doing a research project on his writings. This is the best compilation available on the market and she's relieved she doesn't have to carry several books around with her all the time. Win win.

On a side note, read him. He really is fantastic.

For the last 63 years since I first went to college--I remember many of the lines from "Fern Hill" since I grew up near apple towns --and from age 5 to 12 --I was often their "king" At my university I was able to go to one of his recitals and -even though he had had to stiffen his will with several straight Irish whiskeys-he gave me a memorable presentation of Sitwell's ""Still falls the Rain"--of such things are lifetime memories made.

Fantastic collection. If you like Dylan Thomas, you want this book. I purchased it as a replacement for my worn out copy of Collected Poems and was not disappointed. This is a much more complete collection of his poems.

This is probably the most readable of the Dylan Thomas editions, in terms of both print quality and lay-out. His reputation, and his poems, speak for themselves. For people who want a good, solid collection of this master's poems, I strongly recommend this edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection - American printing hence the differenr paper cut.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is a superb collection. Just to clarify some of other reviews this is an American edition and the paper cutting, the ragged edges is a normal printing unlike the clean cut edging on uk prints. This is not poor printing. The type face and paper quality are excellent and this is an authoratitive collection of some of the best poems in the English language over the past 100 years. A really nice edition.
